Ole Santy

We took 5 children under the age of 4 to see good ole Santa Claus today. It was pretty ridiculous, wanna guess how many ACTUALLY wanted to see ole Santy?! Here, look for yourself.... :)

What were we thinking?!? Well, we actually do it every year, HA! 

Nono was NOT having it!! See ya :)

This one is pretty good but, poor lil baba girL

The big boys were good, old veterans I guess, and they remembered that Santa gives CaNdY :)

Any bets on how many will be crying next year??

Gotta love those holiday traditions :)

• Chore that you hate: Cleaning the dishes, I have an very zealous nose and dirty dishes just STINK!
• Dogs: I wish! We had a few when I was growing up, but now we rent. Most of the places we rent don't have fenced in backyards and I couldn't keep a doggie stuck in the house all the time. One day we will have a dog (when we have our farm :))
• Essential start to your day: Coffee and cuddles from my baby and love. 
• Favorite color: Green.
• Gold or Silver: Well, I'm a jeweler so I would say platinum, because it's such an amazing metal. But, really I love/would wear anything, gold,silver,copper,brass.......

• Mother’s name: Wendy Catherine

• Overnight hospital stays: When I had my sweet baby Finn
• Pet peeves: When people chew their food really loud or with their mouths open, you know who you are!!

• Siblings: 1 older brother (Andy), 1 older sister (Brenna) and I'm da baby :)
• Underwear: Right now in my life, one word: COMFORT :)
